My kids had fun at this property in the game room and backyard. The house was clean, comfortable, and cool. There are lots of restaurants and stores nearby. We had fun playing in the hot tub and spending time by the outdoor fire pit.

Stayed here for a few days with 2 kids while visiting Joshua Tree National Park and Palm Springs. Was a great place with lots of amenities. Very spacious and clean, well equipped kitchen, outdoor space was great with the hot tub, fire place, grill, and more. The game room was a total bonus and was a great spot to unwind after visiting the park. Was a very easy process to get in and out. Would recommend!

So I dont want to leave a long drawn out review so short and sweet. This place is fantastic- The owners communication was truly unbelievable - I wish i could clone him 5000 times and give him a job at Verizon! The place was spotless, the beds were really comfortable and the location cant be beat...we had a show at Pappy and Harriets and we were only 10 minutes away and super close to restaurants and other stores as well but off the strip so it was quiet. I especially liked the road runners and bunnys visiting throughout the day in the yard. Cant say enough GREAT things about my experience....go for it without hesitation! Oh yeah...and really close to the Joshua Tree Park and great for young kids with the private game room .
